So, you might've peeped Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande and Jessie J opening the VMAs with a killer three-song medley, but during their "Bang Bang" performance, did y'all notice something up with Nicki? Namely, her dress? She wouldn't let go of her frock throughout the entire song, which leaves us with So. Many. Questions. Obviously, we need to investigate.

FIRST STAGE: THE DISCOVERY

MTV

Nicki realizes the front of her dress is open... on stage... in front of an audience... on live TV.

SECOND STAGE: GRAB 'N GO

MTV

She uses her hands to hold in the goods—all while dancing and singing.

THIRD STAGE: ACCEPTANCE

MTV

She may not have any buttons/zippers/velcro/string/literally anything to hold her dress together, but she's got her hands, and that's all she needs y'all. #WERK
